"I was getting to final interviews and losing out to someone 'just a bit more experienced.' A few months later I had two job offers and got to choose between them. I now have a team of six and report directly to the founder."
Career coaching for ambitious women leaders who want to get hired, promoted and paid what they're worth.
Maybe this sounds familiar:
You've already built a successful career, and you've got even bigger ambitions for what comes next.
You're excited about your next big career move and want to position yourself as the candidate they can't afford to miss.
You know the value you bring, and you want to make sure the right people know it too.
You want to become even more confident and compelling when communicating your experience, achievements and value.
You're ready to be more intentional about building your visibility, expanding your network and getting in front of the right people.
You don't believe in leaving your career progression to chance. You want to be firmly in the driving seat.
Your hard work won't speak for itself.
Decision-makers can't value what they can't see.
Brilliant women get passed over every day because nobody showed them how to position themselves, talk about their impact or ask for what they want.
Those are skills. And skills can be learnt.
Master them, and you'll know how to make yourself the obvious choice, not just for your next role, but throughout your career.
And I'm the woman who can show you how.
The secret weapon behind ambitious women who know how to make themselves the obvious choice.
I'm on a mission to close the gender seniority gap, one exceptional female leader at a time.
And after 20 years in corporate leadership and six years coaching ambitious women, here's what I know:
Capability is the baseline. It's how you position yourself that sets you apart.
At your level, everyone has experience. Everyone has achievements. Everyone can make a compelling case for why they're capable of doing the job.
But being capable of doing the job and being the person decision-makers can't afford to miss are two very different things.
That's where I come in.
I help successful women uncover what makes them different, articulate the value they bring and position themselves as the obvious choice for the opportunities they want.
So they become:
And here's the best bit.
It's not about working harder, doing more or collecting another qualification.
It's about learning how to communicate your value, stand out for the right reasons and influence the people making the decisions.
Skills that won't just help you land your next role. They'll serve you throughout your career.
I'm a straight-talking Yorkshire lass who'll champion you, challenge you and give you a shove when you need one.
Because I'm not here to help you blend in with the competition.
I'm here to help you become the woman they compare everyone else to.

Your next big career move starts with a conversation.This is your opportunity to talk about where you are in your career, what you want to achieve next and the support that would make the biggest difference.

I want you to have everything you need to make an informed decision about whether working together is the right next step for you.
You'll leave with a clear understanding of the support available, how the programme works and what you can expect, so you can confidently decide whether it's the right fit for you and your career goals.
